Hugs for you and maybe one for him.
My DH told me one time he thought all quilts should be quilted my hand. I've done a few by hand, but by this time I had a quilting machine. He told me he could not sleep under a machine stitched quilt. I made him a quilt, all done by machine, put it on the bed. Next morning I asked him how he slept. He said fine. I told him the quilt he slept under had been done by machine. He has never said another word about hand quilting.

It's beautiful and it only goes to show what he doesn't know...
I don't for one minute think the ladies of long ago would do much hand quilting if they had the machine's available to them that we do today. There wasn't enough hours in the day for them...
Don't let someone like that bother you... he obviously doesn't know what he is talking about...

This is a very nice quilt and don't let anyone take away from your accomplishment. He needs help finding his bliss. He seems to be a very unhappy person. Pity him, don't feel any anger towards him.

This was a large full size which I had quilted double feathered wreaths on, so it took about 15 hours of quilting time. He grunted and made a comment about he bet the fabric was even new. Then he went into a loud and lenghty speach about how women these days don't know how to make a quilt. How they (quilts) should be made from scraps of clothing. Should never be made from new material. Should all be done by hand, etc. on and on. I really felt small. I finally folded my quilt and went to my car to wait on my husband.

Your quilt is stunning. ((( hugs-hugs-hugs)))
This man was in a doctors office, maybe he had dymentia and if that is the case isn't able to control his mouth.
Take it with a grain of salt. Things are different these days.
I bet if women in the depression could afford new fabric for quilts they would have bought it....
You have a great day....
